PIP: At the 19th annual cancer symposium held in Regina, Canada during May 1975, the major topic was breast cancer. The comment following a film on radical mastectomy shown by Dr. J.W. Baker was that this represented an outmoded form of therapy. The film was followed by a statement of the magnitude of the problem--one new breast cancer patient each hour in Canada. Dr. T.H.C. Barlay discussed the problems of the etiology and prognostic factors. Dr. R.D. James focused a the "poor man's thermography"--a technique involving cooling of the breast by ethyl chloride sprayed onto a sponge and observing for a "blush" during recovery. In 58 patients with no blush, 48 showed a final diagnosis of malignant breast disease. P.J. Waight discussed the function of bone scans in the diagnosis of breast carcinoma. Dr. N.J. Belliveau made the point that in Montreal the classical Halsted approach of radical mastectomy has been discontinued. Additional attention was directed to radiation results, immunological response, consumer viewpoint and breast carcinoma management. Regarding oral contraceptives, Dr. Black noted that in his patients under age 55 there appears to be no alteration in the incidence of breast carcinoma, and in patients over age 55 there appears to be a negative correlation between long-term medication with contraceptive steroids and the incidence of breast carcinoma.
